This is a good quality hotel, cleanliness,food and drink cannot be faulted.

If you are heavily tattooed,overweight, smoke like a chimney, swear like a trooper and think wearing a foorball shirt 24/7 is cool then this is the place for you, and that's just the women !!

I saw several puch ups and witnessed countless incidents of the stereotypical Brit abroad.

The pool area cannot cope with the number of people at this hotel, from 0750 people start to queue behind a rope. At 0800 the hotel staff lift the rope and people run for the sunbeds, if this wasn't so sad it would be funny. Sometimes the hotel staff even blew a whistle to start the race much to their amusement.

Sixteen rooms were also broken into while we were there and the safes were robbed.

We found the hotel very clean, towels changed every day.

The food was very poor my other half being a veg he lived on potatoes and beans for a week.

We were about a ten min walk from the beach and night life

The staff were really good at night it was a bit boring even for the kids

I would go back again but not all inclusive as we were very disappointed with the food

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent.

Where do i start? This hotel is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay there.

We went AI and the choice of food was immense. There were always at least 10 meal combinations. At every meal there was always chips and there was always salad at lunch and dinner. Also there was a chef in the middle dishing out either meat or fish at Dinner and there were also copious amounts of other food, from burgers to paella, goulash to nuggets, omelette's to pizza.

Always 2 types of soup at every meal. plus veg and gravy. sachets of red sauce and mayo, plus bottles of dressing and hp brown sauce.

Drinks on the AI are San Miguel and strongbow on draught, Pepsi, 7-up and Kas (which I think is Fanta) lemon and orange also on draught and tea/coffee other hot drinks etc.. There are also the usual hotel versions of the spirits which (to me) don't taste any different.

As for the cleanliness, I could not fault it really. We had one night where my partner opened the toilet door and thought I had been in the night but it was the drains but that was a one off.

The room was cleaned daily and if you wanted your towels changing you leave them in the bath.

All cutlery and plates were always clean as were the bars and the restaurants, and there always seemed to be someone cleaning somewhere.

The staff were all great and you get to know a few of the faces and names the more you are there.

The entertainment team are great and work tirelessly from 11 until the early hours with various activities for kids, teens and adults through the day and the show at 10pm usually contains them also unless they have a singer on. In the entertainment team are 3 Spaniards (David, javi (funny guy) and Natalia), 2 English (Jake and Natalie), a Scot (Stephanie), a Czech (David), a Slovakian (Mike), a French lady (Estelle) and a Dutch lady (Lysette) who all speak excellent English.

We will definitely visit this hotel again as soon as we can afford it because we simply loved it.

The Hotel was impressive inside.

It was spotlessly clean and Reception Staff were very efficient.In fact all the staff were very efficient.Our only down side for the Hotel were the lifts which were diabolical.

Due to the fact the hotel has 25 floors and we were on lower levels we had a long wait to get a lift on times as they were always full!!

Also we found the pool area became very cramped although there were plenty of sun-beds available though not always much shelter from the sun.We didn't think the pool was really big enough for the size of the hotel.

We had one week before the schools broke up and it wasn't so bad the second week the hotel was a lot busier and I wouldn't like to have stayed in the Peak season when it was very busy.

The plus side for the hotel was the food.You would have to be really finicky if you couldn't find something you liked.It was always fresh and piping hot with a great selection all well cooked and presented.The rooms were spacious and very clean.

We have been to Benidorm before and much preferred this area to our previous more central location.We made a couple of trips to Aqualandia which was great for the kids.
Tip if you enjoyed it and plan to go back get a second day return pass on your way out.We hadn't realised this so it cost us full price both days but we still thought it a good day out and only 10 minutes walk from the hotel.

The only thing that wasn't so good was the entertainment in the nights but going AI we didn't mind going out for the odd meal in the evenings for a change,followed by one or two cocktails near the beach (again about 10-15 minutes walk)There are also some good bars across the road with entertainment if you fancy a change.

Hotel Staff were pleasant and friendly.A good hotel overall.

We have just returned from a week all inclusive stay at the Oasis Flamingo and we had a brilliant time. The weather was red hot...in its 90's.

The hotel was spotless, the staff couldnt clean enough. Staff came round the pool regular to pick rubbish up, the bars were always clear and the toilets were immaculate. As for the rooms...huge.....the maids cleaned daily, always clean bedding and towels, they did a fantastic job. Definately the cleanest hotel I have ever been in.

The location was perfect for us!!! It was a 10-15 min walk to the centre of Benidorm and beach, which we thought was perfect with having a 4 year old with us. It not to far away to experience the night life, but not too close that you were kept awake at night.

If you want an excellent, cheap meal as a change from the all inclusive go to the Union Jack which is just down the road....very cheap, huge and gorgeous!!!

The staff are really friendly and work hard to make your stay perfect. The hotel entertainment staff were brilliant. They worked so hard and always put on fantastic shows. A dont miss is the proffesional hypnotist....we have never laughed so much in all our lives. (thats adults only, but the hotel entertainers put a show on for the kids)

The restaurant had a wide variety of foods. The food was ok although a bit repetitive (breakfast and lunch tend to be the best). It would have been better if they had catered more for the kids as our son didnt like much that was on. There was a snack bar round the pool, but eating chips, burgers and nuggets everyday was a little boring for children.

The only thing that could be improved would be the childrens play park. It is for older children and it was to high for my 4 year old to play on.

We would defintely return to this hotel but would take the self catering option. Overall 8/10

First time to this hotel, and apart from the weather, we had a nice break.

Good points - well run, and plenty of resource in staff and communal areas. Also the food was pretty good too. Very generous with the drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic.

Bad points - A bit out of town for those wanting a lively time. The restaurant! Imagine a high class Butlins canteen. Too busy, too food hall for a 4* hotel, but the quality was OK, evening meal often lacked imagination.

When it's busy, the 7 lifts can't cope, especially when there are nasty little oiks who take great delight in continually pressing the lift call buttons!!

Not really my cup of tea, but a nice break.

Only thing that let us down was the weather. Hotel was fantastic and deserves its 4*.

The Hotel was packed it being Easter but we where always shown to a table quickly no matter what time we went to the restaurant. You could eat from 8am to midnight and we never had one bad meal. We even found breakfast available at 11.30 am which meant we didn't have to rush in the mornings or anything.

Having Bottled water included in the All Inclusive was a blessing especially to take to the room at nightime etc.

Entertainment to suit everyone of all ages, also child free zones for those that wish. One thing I noticed which I have never seen done in any other Hotel we have stayed in was a few times in the evening at 11pm when the Act performing was deemed Adult, they opened the kids club, which meant parents didn't have to miss these shows. I think this is a great idea and wish all hotels did the same.

I would highly recommend this Hotel to couples and families as there is so much going on to keep everyone happy and hope to visit it again. Karen

My wife and have been to this hotel before and knew what to expect, it is spotlessly clean and the food is top quality!

Can't say to much about the entertainment as we went out most nights, but there seemed something to do for all ages day and night.

If you've booked to go be happy as it's brill!!

We stayed here as a family of three for Easter 07 holidays for 2 weeks, and loved it that much I will be defiantly going there again. This was our very first time to Benidorm and was very pleased we chose to stay at Flamingo Oasis.

On arrival when you get through the revolving doors you are instantly eased by how spacious airey and luxurious the whole place looks.
Check inn was a nice welcome of the smiley staff, and very simple and quick, we was pleased to find our room request to the hotel for a high floor and pool view had been granted.
we was given a temporary room/id card until the next day, as eventually you will have your photo took individually which churns out your all inclusive, hotel id, and room card.

Lifts:
I had previously read a lot of bad comments about the lifts as I’m sure you have too.
Our room was right up on the 23rd floor! There was 6 all together and there honestly wouldn’t have been any problem with long periods of time waiting, if people made some more room. The 2 middle lifts hold 13! And the others on the outside hold 8! There would be about 5 people all together getting in each lift then saying it was full. The lifts all have weight sensors, so if the lift is too full to move the doors won’t close, So without the alarm going off its fine to get some more in.

Also when you call the lift it calls all 6 of them so say if one had arrived at the ground floor people would still be pressing the lift button that they was waiting by. This means that the doors to lift that is there will be trying to close to go up but will then then reopen when somone else presses the call button. Sadly you will find the majority of people will be having a moan about this every day. No matter what floor you’re on you will stop at practically every floor usually going up or down. I could see this being a real problem in the busiest summer season so be careful.

Accommodation: 9/10
Our room was really spacious for the three of us. The bathroom was a good size it was nice having 2 sinks. You also get a hairdryer in there too. There’s a satellite television in the room with English sky sports and bbc1, the rest are a few Spanish channels.
The private balcony was really big and is all very safe. Being on the 23rd floor the view was brilliant you could see everything from the pool, mountains, and the sea!
The balcony also had a washing airer.
All the rooms have air condition but this is only in use in the summer months.
Our room cleaner Marie always kept the room spotless and changed the towels daily if you wanted too.

All Inclusive Cards:
The next day we had our photo taken individually the kids are given a red card and adults a yellow one.
The children’s red card allows them 1 soft drink at the bar per time, and the adults yellow card 2 drinks at a time.
The hotels shop in reception sell cotton chains so you can keep them round your neck (the hotel reception will punch a hole at the top for you) you would find most people did this.


Restaurant: 8/10
The Restaurant is the biggest I’ve seen it was massive and spotless. You are asked to show your all inclusive card before entering so have them ready. We was always shown to a table at even what look to be the busiest of times. The food quality we found to be excellent there was so much choice for everyone’s taste. They even have a kids section for the little ones which was great as they can be fussy. The chef’s specials were gorgeous! We always found something we liked. The Restaurant staff never seemed to stop but we found them to be friendly and generally happy. You find the restaurant is open basically all day they even do midnight snacks after the entertainment! The only negative thing is that they didn't seem to have any air conditioning on in the restaurant which sometimes was quite uncomfortable as the temperature of the room got so hot.

Entertainment: 7/10
The animation team worked none stop from early in the morning to the early hours at night. There was something going on for all ages throughout the whole day!
The nightly entertainment we found was good but we only stayed to watch the professional acts at 11pm as the acts before that are the animation team putting on their own show which unfortunately we found to go through us a bit, but 10/10 for their enthusiastic efforts! But defiantly make sure you watch the 11 pm acts as they were excellent! Especially the comedians. They also have bingo on as well at 8:30 not cash prizes but a flamingo oasis t-shirt. Some nights there is also karaoke if you fancy a sing.
My brother and along with quite a few other teenagers he met was gutted that the hotel closed there football pitch throughout all the holiday. But luckily not far from the hotel about 3 minutes’ walk there is a large Astroturf pitch open to the public and free of charge, with a nice friendly cafe if your kids like a proper kick about..
The kids also had a games room to keep them occupied with all different type of arcade games to play and a air disk table.
for toddlers they had kids world / kid zone club which is good if mum and dad wont a rest knowing there in safe hands.

Cafe Bar:
The hotels Cafe Bar Veranda' is open from 9am till midnight here you can get all your day/night time alcoholic-non-alcoholic and hot drinks you won’t. There was always plenty of free tables and settees. For the smokers they had the end part of the cafe sectioned off for them but i don’t know if this will stop once the ban takes place.
They didn’t serve food here just vending machines with crisps and chocolate to buy. Some days in the afternoon they had cakes part in the a/i on in the tea and coffee section.
Also at the back of the cafe on to the patio there is 4 pool tables 1€ per game they overlook the main pool area. The local larger apart of the a/i is San Miguel.

Location:
Only about a 15 minute walk to the beach and nightlife but it’s a nice walk, I personally only say its about a 10 minute brisk walk.

Crazy Golf:
On top of the cafe roof they had crazy golf up there which was one of the day’s activities for the children and adults. A little bit run down now.

Piano Bar:
The adult only bar with live piano music and golden oldies songs. Didn’t spend really any time in here but the older ones were having a good dance and sing. I saw Buddy Holly look alike perform in here he was really good.

Bottled Water:
We was very surprised when we found out that bottled water was part of the all-inclusive at this hotel. we thought this was great part as we went through a lot.

Excursions:
We didn’t go on any of the company’s excursions out as we found them quite pricey but everyone i hared who had been on them sound like it was a good day out.

Internet Access:
The hotel have 7 computers with internet access and messenger 1€ for 15 minutes.

Hairdressers:
A unisex hairdressers but very expensive! About €20 euros for gents cut. and about €60 for a ladies wash and blow dry.

Hotels Shop:
Nice little shop that sells all sorts. mostly postcards and Souvenirs.

Super Market:
Right opposite the hotel is a super market that sells all toiletries, food, and convenience things. very reasonable priced.

Roof top pool:
The roof top pool was an adults only sanctuary the views from up there are brilliant. Plenty of sun loungers up there. They also had a bar as well along with a good size splash pool. When the sun is out up there you can roast very quickly!

Out door pool:
The pool is big and looked great to have a swim if the sun was out but unfortunately being in April it was way too cold.

Indoor Pool:
This was open during our tay which was good as the outdoor pool was closed. But I belive this pool was cold aswell. The kids enjoyed it though.

Cleanliness: 10/10
The whole of the hotel is totally spotless i didn’t find any communal area dirty or un clean. Cleaners work very hard.

Hotel staff: 8/10
On the whole most of the staff were friendly and polite but you always get 1 miserable one and im regarding the bar section more then anything.

Stag/Hen Nights:
During the 2 weeks we stayed there all together I saw around 2 or 3 they were no bother though, but sometimes this is not the case.

Thomas Cook: 8/10
We booked the holiday through Thomas Cook because we got a good deal, and must say with praise that the reps were extremely friendly and helpful. Nicky and Kiel was always on hand everyday to help you with anything you wanted to know.

Value for Money: 8/10
We found the hotel very good value for money and would recommend its worth a visit. You will won’t to go back believe me

All in All:
The hotel is well worthy of it 4 stars and I look forward to coming back here in the near future.

This hotel is by far the best all inclusive I have stayed in. I've been to Tenerife, Crete, Turkey, Majorca and not one of the hotels come near this place, it's great!
